Hey everybody! I hope that you are all enjoying this Christmas Season! We really do love this time of year around the Bowling household! Mike started decorating on Thanksgiving, and he has done a wonderful job at getting us in the spirit of things. The kids love it! We are so busy it’s not even funny, I’m sure that everyone can relate this time of year. Tonight was a birthday party for our first born. It’s so hard to believe how fast the time flies. One minute you have a newborn, you blink, and there stands a pre-teen! It’s so very scary….. but the most wonderful gift!  Well, I pray you are all well, and encourage you to come and see us soon!  ”Shine” the cd is taking a little longer than we anticipated, but it’s almost there, and I hope it will be worth the wait, I can’t tell you how thrilled we are with these songs! I talk about it often, but a song can change your world, and these songs have changed mine! I did a vocal for a song called “Pray Anyway” today, written by Sonya and Becky Isaacs. They also wrote “Your Cries Have Awoken the Master.”   The song I did today, is one of my favorites I’ve ever gotten to sing! Such a powerful lyric, I can’t wait to share it! Well, I  should go for now! We appreciate you all! Until next time…..

Psalm 95:6
“O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.”

Hey everyone! I have missed my blog! Finally, I just made myself sit down and write, and forget for a few moments that there are five baskets of clothes that need put away, three beds that need to be made, and floors that need vacuumed! I  decided it will all still be there after I blog.

So, as many of you already know, we have been in the studio working on a new CD called “Shine.” I must admit, I am more excited than  I have been in a long time about this CD! It’s the first time back in the studio in almost two years, and we were so ready for some fresh material.   Having Terah in the studio, has it made even that much more fun!  Mike  is a pro at picking songs, and he found so many good ones this time around!  I love all of the messages! From songs about God leading us, to “story” songs about a minister praying for God’s guidance and what to tell his congregation that is hurting! We are thrilled with what was sent our way!  These are the kinds of songs that remind me why I fell in love with singing in church as a young girl. I can remember singing along with my family in my early teens, that’s when I first realized  how the lyrics of songs have the ability to encourage people, or remind them of God’s goodness! It is amazing how a song can speak so clearly into a person’s life! I believe that sometimes we just need to be reminded! Reminded that we are loved, reminded that we are strong, reminded that we are being prayed for , reminded that we matter to God, and that He is always there, no matter what! When are reminded of that,  and believe it, it is then that victory finds us, and it is then, that we really do start to “shine.”   I hope that you  find the time in the busyness of this day to remind yourself, through a song, through a prayer, however,  and then “shine” the love that only He can give!   Someone around you needs you to “shine.” Until next time………

Isaiah 42:16

I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
